For one, don't believe everything you see on TV. While on TV some people might talk down on a guy with cats, I have not met anyone in real life do such a thing unless of course the man was awkwardly and overly affectionate about his cats... but I would think that's strange regardless of what pet it is or the gender of the owner. Personally, I prefer fish. They're quiet and low maintenance.
As for playing a female character in games.... I've met PLENTY of guys that play female characters. You are by no means the minority on that. Actually, a lot of times when I see female characters in games, my first thought is that there's likely a man behind that character and I continue to believe so until told otherwise. A former roommate of my brother's told me that he only plays female characters regardless of the game because they look better and it's easier for him to find groups that way, and he wasn't feminine in the least.
There are some guys that also continue to let people believe they are female, though at times this is just to get free stuff from other players. Other times it's because they would feel awkward informing people that they're playing a female character because they think others might find it strange, but it's really not. I once thought it was when I first started playing online games because I always thought your character was supposed to be a representation of yourself, though if you're roleplaying, that isn't always the case.
As for wanting sons, I believe that has some to do with carrying on the family name. Most often when people marry, the woman will take on the man's last name {this is not always the case these day, but it is still rather common}. Therefore, if a family had all daughters and they all took on their husbands' last names, there would be no further generations in that family with the same last name.
Men also often want sons because they feel they can better relate to and perform certain activities with sons than they could with daughters. And I can't speak for every guy on this last part, but personally I would prefer sons over daughters because while sons in their youth can be a bit of a handful at times, teenage girls would drive me up the wall far more.

Makaijin Showa Hayata I seem to be very different from most guys in a lot of ways... I usually pick female characters in games even when there is no difference in gameplay or stats because the female avatars are better looking IMO, I'll even go along with it and let people call me female while still acting like a guy because people assume I'm female so often. (But that probably sounds messed-up.) Traditionally, the man goes to work while the woman stays at home and takes care of the family. Spending most of my day in a soulless corporation away from my family just doesn't appeal to me and besides, aren't there more women in the workplace these days anyway? My religion teaches, straight from the Bible, that the husband is to be head of the household (though it also teaches straight from the Bible that the man is to treat his wife like she is a part of himself, and most would not deliberately do bad to themselves). I neither desire such a role nor am I suited to being first and foremost at anything. I really prefer to be second-in-command or an adviser, not a leader... I would actually prefer a matriarchal family structure for that reason. But I still want to be a good Christian... Apparently most guys want sons... it's my experience that boys are the more annoying children so WHY IS THAT? And how is having or preferring cats pathetic for men? I keep hearing guys with cats spoken of in a demeaning manner on TV shows. Cats are cleaner and neater animals than dogs, the worst they do is leave hair in the rug for you to vacuum up assuming they've been fixed. Dogs need to be continually cleaned up after because they are not as neat and clean as cats.
I don't see why that would make you less of a man. I pick boy characters and can occasionaly act more like a guy than a girl. I am in no way frilly or super girly. I like sports and pizza and beer. I'm from a home of a single mother and the women in my family are very strong willed and run the household. Only one of the men I've ever been with took complete control over me and ran the house his way and After 4 years together he suddenly needed me to take care of him and he refused to let me and Left the relationship, Ever since then I've never let a man take complete control. I love a guy that loves cats over dogs because I like dogs but even the fixed ones for some reason seem to always get sexually arroused when I'm around and I'm allergic to dogs too. I LOVE CATS! I'm not the sterotypical lonely cat lady either. I have a child and thought originally that I would be better suited for a boy baby but I was blessed with a girl and now I thank my lucky stars I have a girl and not a boy. So yeah, I think it sounds moor like a better match of a man for me if they would be moor like you than obviously what you are being told a real man is.
